I know I just posted the other day and you are probably wondering to yourselves "Does this guy need attention" lol. No, I spoke to my son again this Saturday morning 11:00 am my time when I realized it was almost midnight his time and he was getting ready to roll out of the wire to his VPB. The way it has been explained by several soldiers and not just my own that the road up to the VPB is very narrow (only six inch clearance on either side of the vehicle when driving up the mountain to the VPB. They do this under total dark out rules. Someone has to walk in front of the vehicle and guide the driver. I know that he has made it safely back to the VPB and I won't hear from him for another 20 days or so. My son now serves under a different NCO, the one he served when they were at Graf. He is excited about this but misses Upp.
I now know I have a new reader, Monita I have seen your postings on OUR special support site. Thank you for the heads up on the chocolate. I am sure it will help us all for Easter. I am not sure what you are doing in Kabul but I am sure it is all good. Be safe Please!
I tried uploading a video by D last night but it was either to long or this site did not recognize the format so I am going to post the link to it. Later in the Blog I am posting now. The greatness of our new Army is that they are truly an a Army Strong and be assured they are an Army of ONE.
Ronnie, I hope the link works buddy! For a great video click or paste and cut here
